An account of the trial between Jonathan Stancliffe, plaintiff, and Thomas Chorley and George Bulmer, defendants, for neglect and inattention as to the dislocation of an arm: tried on Saturday, the 31st July, 1830, at York, before Sir N. C. Tindal, knight, and a special jury
Royal College of Surgeons of England, 1830
This seems to be the same man:
Mr. Pollock rose and said, May it please your Lordship, Gentlemen of the Jury, — I have to state to you more particularly in detail the pleadings which my learned friend, Mr. Baines, has just opened; the action charges, that the Defendants are responsible for a very serious injury, from the effects of which, it is probable, the Plaintiff never will recover more than he has now up to the present hour; and in all probability, he will remain, to a certain extent, a cripple for the remainder of his life. He was a wharfinger at Leeds, a married man, and about the age of thirty years, when the accident happened, by which, his means are diminished, his prospects impaired, and he looks to you for reparation for that injury which he charges the Defendants as responsible.
